need help on upgrading my rom

[schloems]

i have an O2 XDA.
ROM Version: 3.02.00 GER
ROM Date: 05/27/02

I want to update to the new SER v.12 but have no idea how to do so.
Can anybody please help me?

Read this http://www.xda-developers.com/SER/ first
then, check out the thread/topic about SER 1.2, the thing you probably need/want is XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe, posted somewhere in that topic. Just download and execute, the programme will guide you
enjoy

but is ist safe to install this rom. i have heard that some xda´s are destroyed if you install it.
what requirements does my xda need if i want to install version 1.2

[Zviratko]

Flashing ROM is not too dangerous - Radio part (the 1.5MB file) is worse
if you just follow the instructions you should be safe

I just bought the xda yesterday. So if i download the XDA-developers-SER-v1.2.exe to my xda and execute it, its gonna delete the old rom version and upgrade to the new one? I really have to be careful because i don't wanna kill my device.
if i update to ser v.1.2 do i have to update my radio part or can i leave it the old way.

You can download SER1.2 .exe file from http://www.uspocketpcphone.com/temporary.htm

I am not an expert on this thing, but using the exe is not difficult.
It's a lot and alot better the the original ROM for my XDA.
Happy trying. Make sure to follow instruction though.

how do i execute the file once it is on my xda. what am i gonna do next?

[Zviratko]

You execute it on the computer... you did not read the articles, did you? :P

[schloems]

i have read the whole article. but why do i execute SER1.2 .exe on my computer and not on the xda? how do i get it on the xda?
please be patient with me....maybe i am retarded

You don't need to do anything on your xda. Executing the file on your pc automatically beams it to Activesync and then installs it on xda. Sounds easy enough...? It is!!

i thank you the utmost!!!i finally got it.ser1.2 is running without any problems and i even got rid of the annoying simlock wich would have cost me 150€.

you are awesome...thanks a lot :D
